Grief Hallucinations: Visits from the Deceased

[Argos]

Scientific American:

Mourning seems to be a time when hallucinations are particularly common, to the point where feeling the presence of the deceased is the norm rather than the exception. One study, by the researcher Agneta Grimby at the University of Goteborg, found that over 80 percent of elderly people experience hallucinations associated with their dead partner one month after bereavement (...)

I can see how a grief situation could stimulate the release of DMT, a powerful hallucinogen, from our Pineal gland.

This sounds like a more severe version of what's happened to me soon after people I've known have died. I wouldn't see people who weren't there, but I'd notice real people (random strangers walking by) seeming similar to the recently dead acquaintance, more frequently than I noticed such similarities between such strangers and my living acquaintances. (I also noticed an increase in the number of people who seemed to resemble my father, soon after I concluded that he was "gone" in any practical sense because I'd never be able to talk with him again because his mind no longer worked, even if he was technically considered "alive".)

Grieving can cause such hallucinations, it's a painful emotion one feels when a loved one dies .
The person who are left behind usually is in denial that his loved one is dead so he sometimes sees the dead person or feels that he's been hugged .

I think this feelings are normal , I have yet to experienced that, and I have to prepare myself when the time comes.

Near death experiences have also been linked to DMT release by the brain, as well as alien encounters.
